Justice in Aging is a national organization that uses the
power of law to fight senior poverty by securing access
to affordable health care, economic security, and the
courts for older adults with limited resources.
Since 1972 we’ve focused our efforts primarily on
populations that have traditionally lacked legal
protection such as women, people of color, LGBT
individuals, and people with limited English proficiency.

“We're going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit…Frankly,
it's the health care entitlements that are the big drivers of our debt, so we spend more time on the health care entitlements — because
that's really where the problem lies, fiscally speaking.”- House Speaker Paul Ryan, 12/6/18
“We have to do two things. We have to generate economic growth which generates revenue, while reducing spending. That will mean
instituting structural changes to Social Security and Medicare for the future.”
Senator Marco Rubio, 11/29/17
